“Successfully helping kids be social since 2010”
Dynamic Social Skills Training for Ages 6–18+
Does your child find it difficult to read social cues, maintain friendships, or “see the grey” in social situations?
Social Smarts is an activity-based group therapy program. We move beyond simple “rules” to teach children and teens the complexity of socializing.
A Sampling of What Kids Learn:
Perspective Taking
Understanding how their behaviour impacts the thoughts and feelings of others.
Non-Verbal Mastery
Decoding body language and subtle communication cues.
Flexibility
Learning to adapt to changing situations and literal thinking.
The Parent Component
Growth doesn’t stop at the clinic door. Each week includes a parent portion to keep you informed of what your child is learning so you can provide confident support at home.
Why Social Smarts Works
The Social Smarts Advantage
We go beyond basic manners to help children master the social nuances of social interaction.
Benefit 1: From “Rules” to “Rationale”
We don’t just teach kids what to do; we teach them why. By focusing on the social reasoning behind an interaction, children learn to adapt to new situations rather than just memorizing a script. This helps them understand the logic of social connections.
Benefit 2: The Power of Perspective
Our program focuses heavily on perspective-taking—helping your child understand how their actions affect the thoughts and feelings of others. This social observation work is the key to building lasting friendships and navigating group dynamics with ease.
Benefit 3: Real-World Generalization
Through activity-based learning and our dedicated “Parent Component,” the skills learned in the clinic actually make it home. We provide the bridge between the group session and your child’s everyday life.
